Went by the store in Barcelona today and left with these ... Wanted a oxford suede shoe and have been looking at some C&J but i don´t like the color of the suede most of them have. Really like the Belgrave but i have a hard time paying that kind of money for a suede shoe. These were 310 euro, perfekt price for a shoe that you want to beat up. The rubber sole really makes them versatile.

One strange thing... i bought these in size 7E but when i was in Palma two month ago i tried several pair and decided that 7.5E was my size in Carmina. Now i tried the DM in Phila last, one oxford in dark brown suede (like the ones Spoo have) and 7E was perfect in all of them....strange.

Very nice shoes. Slightly off topic (and does not detract from the shoes themselves) but I'm a little unclear of the functionality of rubber soles designed for wet weather on a suede dress shoe. Wouldn't you want to avoid wearing these shoes in the rain?

Of course i don´t wear suede shoes if it´s raining hard but i think this sole is great if you live in a place were the ground is wet from rain frequently and have gravel during/after winter (like sweden smile.gif )
I use a spray on my suede shoes to waterproof them and this works really good, so i rather get stuck in rain with my suede shoes than my leater shoes,

looking at sinnedk pics, i doubt it...

I waded through a little creek in my suede sperry top siders last summer. Sure they got wet - but no damage.

The only real worry with suede is things like oily stains or stains such as red wine. But even these can usually be removed with a shampooing.

I have a medium width forefoot and a narrow heel. I also have quite a high instep.
Appreciate the assistance.

 

There is an official thread dedicated to it, but from my personal experience I think I would stay away from the narrower last like the simpson if the barrie is a little tight around the vamp.  I believe the inca and rain last may be better.

Is there a chance that Carmina would waive or lower the +30% MTO upcharge if we had a group buy? I would be interested.

I am not sure you have seen this, but has been a group buy going on this thread for some time.

Thanks for the link but I'm not interested in the styles that are a part of that group buy.

I've been planning to get the Chelsea in the Rain last but I just saw that these Forest last Jodphur boots are on the webstore. Hard decision. Can anyone comment on the how the toe looks on the Forest last? I prefer chiselled toes but if the Forest isn't too rounded it might be ok.
